Arnold est le mieux connu pour ses images d'actrice Marilyn Monroe sur le jeu de Monroe dernier (1961) le film, les Inadaptés, mais elle a pris beaucoup de photos de Monroe de 1951 en avant. Une exposition de ses photos précédemment invisibles de Monroe a été montrée à la Galerie Paisible à Londres en mai 2005. Monroe a eu confiance en Arnold plus qu'un autre photographe.
Non seulement Arnold photographie des célébrités comme la Reine Elizabeth II, Malcolm x et Joan Crawford, elle a voyagé largement dans le monde entier, photographiant en Chine, la Russie, l'Afrique du Sud et l'Afghanistan. [Citation nécessaire]

Elle allait fêter son centenaire dans quelques mois. A l'abri dans une maison de retraite londonienne, la photographe Eve Arnold s'est éteinte le mercredi 4 janvier, laissant derrière elle une empreinte indélébile. Américaine issue d'un milieu modeste, fille d'immigrants russes, elle réussit à s'imposer dans le monde très masculin du photojournalisme.
Elle prend ses premières photos à 34 ans et commence à étudier à la New School for Social Research de New York deux ans plus tard, où elle reçoit les enseignements d'Alexei Brodovitch. La reconnaissance viendra, et vite. Picture Post, mais aussi sa ténacité, lui permettent de devenir, en 1951, la première femme p...Actualité Eve Arnold reçoit le Prix Lifetime Achievement Award pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre Eve Arnold recevra cette année un prix Lifetime Achievement Award pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre à l’occasion des Sony World Photography Awards.

To look upon someone extraordinary, who has achieved greatness against great odds. To be moved by an image of one who has touched upon the lives of thousands. To seek knowledge and understanding. To find inspiration.
These are the experiences we seek when confronted by a great portrait. The figures captured in this exhibition were extraordinary, exuding character and living lives of triumph and disaster. The photographers who captured their essence, by necessity required a technical prowess but more importantly possess depth, empathy and pursue a true understanding of the human condition.
Portraits are certainly the great power in photography. They are the great confluence of documentary and artistry. Our natural voyeuristic condition draws us in and the medium allows us to feel an element of intimacy. A great...Exposition Posing Beauty in African American Culture

Until today Magnum stands for documentary photography of the highest standard. Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour (Chim) founded the legendary photo agency in 1947, with the aim to work independently in a motivated cooperative of likeminded photographers - as reporters, commentators and poets with a camera. The decisive moment and Human Interest became the central paradigms of this group.
The exhibition IN OUR TIME opens a time window to the first forty years of Magnum with photographs of the five initiators and fifty other members, such as Werner Bischof, Ernst Haas, Erich Lessing, Eve Arnold, Marc Riboud, Elliott Erwitt, Inge Morath, René Burri, Bruce Davidson, Constantine Manos, Burk Uzzle, Hiroji Kubota, Bruno Barbey, Josef Koudelka, Gilles Peress, Mary Ellen Mark, Susa...Exposition Swann Galleries’ Thursday, October 4 auction of Fine Photographs & Photobooks

In the late 19th century, Afghanistan became a buffer state in "The Great Game" played between the Russian and British Indian Empires and has remained a pawn in international politics ever since. Since the late 1970s the country has suffered continuous and brutal civil war in addition to foreign interventions by Russia and America. Post 9/11 and the start of America’s war on the Taliban, Afghanistan has rarely been out of the news: in the UK media, announcements of British army losses resulting from tough fighting in Helmand province are an unfortunately familiar occurrence. With a new administration in the White House and a shift in foreign polic...Exposition Portraits d'artistes Les grandes figures du XXe siècle devant l'objectif Picasso en pleine création dans les ateliers de Madoura ou arborant chapeau et revolver offerts par Gary Cooper, Alberto Giacometti aux côtés du Buste de Diego, Francis Bacon dans son atelier devant Trois Etudes pour le portrait de John Edwards, mais aussi Arthur Miller prenant la pose pour son épouse au Champs de Mars, François Truffaut à l’écriture et Henri Cartier-Bresson découvrant ses oeuvres au Grand Palais…

Ranging from portraiture to editorial assignments, advertising and long term projects, it reflects the flexibility and tenacity needed to sustain a career spanning over 50 years. When she started in the 1950s, Arnold was a forerunner of the changes taking place in portraiture, which saw a more natural approach applied to all subject matter, whether Hollywood studio stars or documentary on the lives of poverty stricken potato pickers. Her empathy and determination, led to amazingly candid portraits of key Twentieth Century figures from the worlds of politics and popular culture from Malcolm X to Marilyn Monroe.
Born in Philadelphia in 1913 of Russian immigrant parents, Arnold came to p...Exposition Magnum Photos 60 years at the Stedelijk Museum Throughout that period MAGNUM never ceased to supply photographs that have become part of the world’s collective memory – pictures of landmark events like the Russian army’s invasion of Prague in 1968 and the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in Beijing in 1989. The exhibition uses photographs, books and texts to illustrate the history of MAGNUM year by year and gives visitors the opportunity to view work by 83 photographers, such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Carl de Keyzer, Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas and Leonard Freed.
